Bharat Army's epic response wins the internet after Barmy Army trolls Virat Kohli
Rohit Sharma-led India played England in the ODI series opener at the Kennington Oval, London on Tuesday (July 12). The visitors demolished the hapless Jos Buttler-led side and won the game by ten wickets, with less than 50 overs being bowled overall, to take a 1-0 lead in the process.
While Jasprit Bumrah (6 for 19) and skipper Rohit (58-ball 76 not out) were exceptional for the Men in Blue, Md Shami and Prasidh Krishna were also among the wickets whereas Shikhar Dhawan played a sedate knock to stitchan unbeaten 114-run opening stand with his captain. Speaking of Virat Kohli, whose form remains a cause of concern, the 33-year-old former skipper wasn't part of India's playing XIdue toa slight niggle. Thus, the England fan club, i.e. the Barmy Army took this as a chance to troll Kohli.
However, Bharat Army -- Indian counterparts -- were quick to respond and trolled the Barmy Army in an epic manner. Here's the banter which caught the attention of many on the social media platform Twitter:

Opting to bowl first, on a pitch favourable for swing and seam, Rohit-led India were right on the money from the word go. Bumrah's early blows reduced England to 26 for 5 and their innings went nowhere as the home side were dismissed for a paltry 110 -- dismissed for their lowest ever score in ODIs against the Men in Blue -- in 25.2 overs withJason Roy, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Liam Livingstone not opening their respective accounts.
